Could you be a Flood Warden?

March 20, 2025
In 2021, Cotswold District Council launched a new flood warden scheme with the help of Gloucestershire Rural Community Council (GRCC). The scheme involves recruiting and training volunteer flood wardens from across the district to provide information and advice to householders on flood precautions and also support with the response to flooding. 

Cotswold Flood Wardens are volunteers who act as the “eyes and ears” in their communities. They are a key link between Cotswold District Council, responsible agencies and their community, to receive and pass on messages, and to update from their patch to improve local resilience. They will be able to help provide important local information during a flood event and can also act as a key contact during the recovery stage. Flood Wardens might be part of a group working with the parish council to bring together a Community Emergency Plan, or to inform relevant parties about blockages when they have warning of a storm approaching.
